Elemis White Flowers Eye & Lip Make-Up Remover

Wednesday, 24 July 2013

Hi Ladies! I hope your all having wonderful weeks, I'm so glad its started to cool down at night now and I'm looking forward to getting a good nights sleep! I was recently contacted by Elemis asking if I would like to try their Fresh Skin range, as I'm only 19 (for a week!) I thought that I would be perfect to test the range, but I also received this eye make-up remover from the very generous Elemis! I thought it would be best to review this now after I've been using it for a week and wait to review the skincare once I've fully been able to test it.

Elemis is a brand who will always have a place in my heart, when my acne was at its worse I was also getting it on my back which was very painful and hard to treat. The only thing which helped to clear it up was an Elemis tea-tree spray which is really saying something as I pretty much tested the whole of Boots! Much like Benefit, my love for Elemis stems from my early teenage years when I really became interested in beauty, it helped me through a tough time and still continues to help me to this day, 9 years later.

Anyway, on to the review. Elemis says 'This gentle yet effective bi-phase formula instantly removes eye and lip make-up, including waterproof mascara. Formulated with white peony extract to hydrate and white tea to soothe and refresh'. I have to say, I'm really impressed with this product. I have a bright lipstick and a purple eye shadow which always stain and are such a pain to use, so I put this product to the test by using it to remove the lipstick and eye shadow and it took it all off including the stains without needing to rub my eye area too much which is always something I look for as I have very sensitive skin.

Like many eye make-up removers, you have to shake this before using, then just sweep across your lids to remove your make up. One of the things I loved about this product is the feeling it left me with after use. It left my skin feeling hydrated and with a really nice slightly oily texture, but not the kind of oil that you don't want on your skin if you know what i mean? I only use hydrating skincare now as my skin is so sensitive and drys out very easily (I've had a reaction to something as I'm writing this and it's so terrible to suffer with!) so this product ticks all the boxes for me and I think it will be here to stay in my skincare routine.
